Claare Ny Gael - Manx Radio

William Gell's 1906 poem, Mannin Veg Veen, has brought us to Port Erin, and here we pause to look at the work of a frequent visitor to the Island, and particularly to Port Erin, the writer Arnold Bennett. We then compare what he has to say about the view from Bradda with what William Gell writes, but Gell bustles us up the coast to St Patrick's Isle.

We conclude the Manx translation of the story by the Brothers Grimm about the band of six, of whom five are men of extraordinary specialist traits, and they're led by a disgruntled soldier, discharged from the army after sterling service, who's determined that the king will pay over all his treasures before he's done with him. The next story is about a greedy but crafty cook called Grethel.
